What would you think if the Borg showed up on this?

It could work. The Federation knew about the Borg long before Q Who. 7 of 9’s parents were even researching them before it. Just because we didn’t see it happen on a show or movie, it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. We just didn’t know about it.

Also it’s a show, it’s not real historic events.
 
For the love of all that's holy, no. I can't stand when they try to shoehorn TNG era stuff into earlier eras. Let the Borg sleep the sleep of angels.
 
I would be okay with using the Borg. I was skeptical about their inclusion on ENT but I wound up enjoying that episode. I thought ENT brought back the early TNG take on the Borg that was lost after First Contact and Voyager. I think the Borg could fit very well on this show.
 
I Pine for the scary Borg to return. Just not on Disco.

If you catch my meaning.
Disco Borg!

And saying the Borg became just a plot device is like saying the Klingons on DS9 became just a plot device. It's really the other way around. The Borg began as just a plot device, literally, and eventually became villains.

Yep, from unstoppable force of nature that almost beat the Federation to watered down, overused, poorly executed, mustache twirling (in the case of the borg queen) villains that couldn't defeat a single starship.
 
How anyone can think the current plot and story sucks, but think The Borg would be a good idea is beyond me.

But, it does explain a lot about where people's heads are at.
 
I know that they are a TNG-era thing, but this series isn't exactly sticking to established canon!

Imagine what they could make the Borg look like with today's special effects? They could make them look look emaciated and disgusting. Think David Cronenberg.
I would ask: "Who in the hell let Rick Berman/Brannon Braga write an ST: D script?...Dammit!" ;)

Torn on it. One one hand I would LOVE to see them in 2017. Reimagined and probably extremely cruel and lethal, not like Voyagers joke. On the other hand.. Yeah they don't show up until TNG.
 
I love the DS 9 Ferengi, hope one show up to sell stuff to the federation.

As for the Borg showing up, not going to happen. TOS doesn't have the Borg.
